closcer Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Close friend has a 2011 CTS-V, stock except for K&N filters. After I get the tune this week, would it be close or no? Except for the down pipe I have every bolt on.

steve142857 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Off the line because of your AWD you will own him until almost 1/8 me or 60-80 mph... After that you will get raped. On 1/4 mile your car should trap at about 108-110 mph, his at 120+mph. He has 556hp and your car has about 450. Your car being a AWD has more drivetrain loss so on highway you have less power at wheels. Finally, his car weights less than yours. So different league, but at the light mu money is on your car. Be prudent and report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 BHP ratings are actually 565 for the CTS-V's. I kept a comfortable 2 car distance the entire 1/4mile when I raced a lightly modded '09 V at last Summer's National SHO Convention. Not sure what would've played out in the long run. :noidea: I would suspect your 22" wheel/tire pkg is actually going to be a hindrance, rather than a benefit to your set up..... But yes, report back. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 zonblitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 556 bro.. Traction again is a key factor. Mike, you had methanol which Brings your car near or over 500 hp... It narrows down the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkside Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Keep it short or you are going to take a whoopin! Their stock times are around 12.2-12.4 from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 My Ford SHO -versus- a 2009 (lightly modded) CTS-V http://youtu.be/wYo4xkBRYwk A compilation of runs, with another race, with the same CTS-V, beginning at minute mark 3:58...... http://youtu.be/mRyXVs2Jles Enjoy!

bpd1151 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Actually, come to think of it..... this was PRE-catless downpipes, as well as PRE-custom dyno tune during these videos / runs..... I think I was running the canned meth tune file, stage 4, from LMS if I'm not mistaken...... So, I believe the slaughtering I handed down would've been even messier..... hahahaha.

closcer Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 As long as its respectable I don't mind losing. I have driven his car and the way they both sit now, I wouldn't have a chance. Waiting for the tune to make the car come alive with all the mods. The CTS-V is a very nice ride, its just too small for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Without the tune, don't do it. With the tune, you will not be embarassed and as stated above may take him to 60. LOL at "do it on a rainy day" or "cut his supercharger belt". CTS-V is about 4.0 seconds to 60. I recorded four (G-tech) consistent 4.51 - 4.56- second runs this weekend with a full tank of gas and my 13 (almost 14) year old son in the passenger seat. Remove 1/2 tank of gas and my son, and have a less than 100% perfect launch from the V, and you may have him to 60. Get rid of your 22s and your chances further improve. Also as stated, the V will walk you nearing triple digits and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonblitz Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 "I would suspect your 22" wheel/tire pkg is actually going to be a hindrance, rather than a benefit to your set up....." This.... Bad move on your part if you are looking for performance GAINS. Look for 19"-20" Einke Raijins, I believe they are at least 10 lbs lighter per wheel than stock, thus improving your performance.

shoman04 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I two have walked a CTS-V w/nois BUT in a 1/8mi race and ever time he changes gear I would pull way and then he would start walking me down. In a 1/4mi he would have got me/MAYBE.!!!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpfarrell Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The nice/boring thing about our cars is they don't make mistakes. The AWD hooks up and the automatic does it's thing. The bad/exciting thing about the CTS is they don't tolerate fools well. 556 or 565 or whatever hp will smoke the back tires without launching the car, and a missed shift or even mis-timed shift can spoil a good run. I wish our cars were RWD manuals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 That actually looks great. I say "actually" becasue I am usually not a fan of putting larger rims on a vehicle than the maximum optional diameter from the factory. This is one exception - it looks super with that stance.

closcer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 So we raced from a 20 mph roll, its the only chance we got on. US 400. I got absolutely owned. At 60 he had 2 cars on me, if we kept going it would have gotten worse for me I could make up excuses but witnessing how hard he pulled away from me I don't think I'll ever get him.
